Im free this weekend and am down to participate. What does everyone want to talk about?

May be should touch on:

Democratic Convention - will eschewing God from the Democratic platform bode well for the Dems?
Michelle Obama vs Anne Romney - Who gave the better speech/has the bigger ass?
Romney vs Obama - who will do a better job not living up to their promises made during the convention?
Julian Castro rise to fame in the Dem party. Is he a potential presidential candidate?

May be should touch on:

Democratic Convention - will eschewing God from the Democratic platform bode well for the Dems? Terrible
Michelle Obama vs Anne Romney - Who gave the better speech/has the bigger ass? That'll happen naturally
Romney vs Obama - who will do a better job not living up to their promises made during the convention? :beli:
Julian Castro rise to fame in the Dem party. Is he a potential presidential candidate? It would be better to just have a general 2016 look ahead
:beli: :beli:

Btw just to reiterate my schedule has changed so I can do weeknights now. It came with perfect timing for football season. I'll probably be back to nights at the beginning of next year.

I'd like to do the next one but we also have some newcomers that want to give it a shot so I'll give other people a shot because too many people it's hard for everyone to contribute.

Topics...next time I'm on I want to talk about ultra partisanship in politics and how it makes people insane, fact checking and how each side has their own set of facts and neither side can ever convince the other side what the facts are and then ultimately you just have to choose what to believe in because you can pick any stat or number you want to justify what you believe in...the Clinton Obama speeches at the Dnc

How do I join as a speaker/debater?

Just call me on skype at the time of whenever we schedule it. I wouldn't mind hosting it again if that's not a problem with anyone. I enjoyed my first time playing host/moderator.

Btw, everyone make sure you directly plug in your pc to your moden while you're on skype, don't use wi-fi if possible. Your connection is way stronger that way.

We'll try to take a combination of some of everyone participating's suggestions. Topics I'll propose...

-General DNC discussion.

-Relgion discussion...what degree of criticism or bashing is appropriate with respect to its followers. What is or should be the role of the atheist/agnostic/non-religious person in terms of being vocal and how we can espouse ethics without invoking God.

-Zero already mentioned it but I definitely want to talk about Chief Keef, the comments Lupe made about him, his reaction, what he represents, and the corporate responsibility of Interscope records for signing Chief Keef.

I had a bunch of topics in mind now I'm going blank. I'll think of some more shyt later.

When do you y'all want to do the next one? Like I said, I'm free on weeknights now. No more Sunday for now...football is on. :ooh:
